Mars in Virgo...

A subtle confidence that constantly yearns for confirmation in the form of real, tangible results is found when Mars is in the sign of Virgo. These people are quite sure of themselves and enjoy their accomplishments. They know exactly what they are capable of and how to achieve their goals. Yet, they are not aggressive or even very expressive about them. Completing tasks competently and efficiently is simply their nature. They don't need to make a big deal about it or be praised for their efforts.

When their goal is a romantic relationship, their drive to succeed has the same tone. A quiet confidence that prefers to follow social protocol is found with Mars in Virgo. These are not the types to sweep you off your feet. Polite conversation that begins with verbal hints of their attraction is more their style, and although they aren't overly romantic or aggressive with their advances, it is always clear that they are advances. It doesn't take long for the hints to become declarations if they sense that they are progressing well. Their observant nature is good at gauging this. Virgo's earthy nature feels comfortable in the sexual

arena and has no problem expressing their desire for it. Even if they aren't typically romantic, there is something attractive about their naturally comfortable feeling with the physical expression of love. It's obvious very early in their relationships.Their mutable nature combined with their earth-sign practicality, makes them gifted at coming up with creative solutions to ordinary problems. They can mow through difficulties that will drive other signs crazy.

Virgo's calm, subtle nature causes people to underestimate them. Quick, exacting minds lie behind those quiet, refined exteriors. The Mars in Virgo person does not allow the world's frustrating obstacles to get in their way. They can be extremely agile and adaptable in making their way toward their goals. In fact, it's usually other people rather than physical or abstract problems that become their stumbling blocks. Other people don't always see the same path to success, which is so clearly defined in the mind of the Mars in Virgo person. Whether the people are working with them or against them, it can be equally frustrating for these chart holders. The normal calm, polite nature of the Mars in Virgo person can quickly turn into a quarrelsome, irritable and sharp-tongued person who has no patience for anything other than their point of view when they are dealing with people who are showing them resistance. Granted, they are usually correct, but when they take on this attitude, it becomes very difficult for other people to accept their help or to give them help. Ruled by Mercury, the sign of Virgo can lose its earthy sense of patient realism and turn the corner into the detached, unemotional rationalism of Mercury. When this happens, their usual soft, human touch is gone and only the facts of right and wrong remain. Their gentle nature becomes more forceful and focused. Although it can be difficult for others to deal with, they can accomplish a lot when they switch into this mode. Don't be mistaken though. Mars in Virgo people don't enjoy this state of being and it's only when they are frustrated that they resort to it. For the most part, they hum along peacefully and are efficient masters of their worlds.
